Description

Describe what this variable represents, and list any assumptions made about its value.

Can an exam override the value of this variable?

Generated value: `integer`

Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

$\begin{eqnarray} \simplify[std]{{a}x+{b}y}&=&\var{c}\\ \simplify[std]{{a1}x+{b1}y}&=&\var{c1} \end{eqnarray}$

$x=\phantom{{}}$ Gap 0., $y=\phantom{{}}$ Gap 1.

Input your answers as fractions or integers, not as decimals.

Click Show steps for a video that describes a more direct method of solving when, for example, one of the equations gives a variable directly in terms of the other variable.

Advice

$\begin{eqnarray} \simplify[std]{{a}x+{b}y}&=&\var{c}&\mbox{ ........(1)}\\ \simplify[std]{{a1}x+{b1}y}&=&\var{c1}&\mbox{ ........(2)} \end{eqnarray}$
To get a solution for

$x$ multiply equation (1) by {this} and equation (2) by {that}

This gives:

$\begin{eqnarray} \simplify[std]{{a*this}x+{b*this}y}&=&\var{this*c}&\mbox{ ........(3)}\\ \simplify[std]{{a1*that}x+{b1*that}y}&=&\var{that*c1}&\mbox{ ........(4)} \end{eqnarray}$
Now {aort} (4) {fromorto} equation (3) to get

$\simplify[std]{({a*this}+{s6*a1*that})x={this*c}+{s6*that*c1}}$
And so we get the solution for

$x$ :

$x = \simplify{{c*b1-b*c1}/{b1*a-a1*b}}$
Substituting this value into any of the equations (1) and (2) gives:

$y = \simplify{{c*a1-a*c1}/{b*a1-a*b1}}$
You can check that these solutions are correct by seeing if they satisfy both equations (1) and (2) by substituting these values into the equations.

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
